Doesn't seem to be a case here (used memory region in uncached).

On MIPS (this is MIPS-only driver):

...
#define ioremap(offset, size)						\
	__ioremap_mode((offset), (size), _CACHE_UNCACHED)
#define ioremap_uc		ioremap
...

While memremap() is only for cacheable memory:

...
 * memremap() - remap an iomem_resource as cacheable memory
 * @offset: iomem resource start address
 * @size: size of remap
 * @flags: any of MEMREMAP_WB, MEMREMAP_WT, MEMREMAP_WC,
 *		  MEMREMAP_ENC, MEMREMAP_DEC
...
